My Fears About 6th

As the rumor mill turns more and more is beginning to leak out of the mighty citadel in notingham. Allot of what comes is disconcerting to me for many reasons. To better illustrate this lets do an experiment. Lets assume every army is equal. Now lets count all the rumors that benefit and hurt these armies and see what the spread is.

  • FNP is now a 5+
-1 Nids, BA, DE
  • New psychic powers
+1 GK, SW, BA, DA, CSM, Nids, Guard,SM
-1 Tau,  Chaos, DE, Orks, Necrons

  • Random Charge Distance
+1 Tau, Necrons, Guard, Eldar
-1 Orks, Nids, DE, Chaos, CSM

  • Cover is Now 5+
-1 Nids, Orks, DE, Guard, Eldar
  • Defensive Fire
+1 Tau, SW, Guard, Necrons
-1 Nids, Orks, DE, CSM
  • Hull points allowing vehicles to shrug of damage
+1 SW, GK, BA, CSM, SM, Necrons, Guard
-1 DE, Nids, Orks, Tau, Eldar
  • Damage results stacking
+1 Orks, Necrons, Nids, Guard
-1 SW, GK, BA, CSM, SM, Tau, Eldar
  • AP on CCW
+1 GK, SW, BA, SM, CSM
-1 Eldar, DE, Necrons, Tau, Nids, Chaos

GK           1
SW          3
Nids       -4
BA           1
DE          -7
Tau        -2
Guard     4
Eldar      -3
Necrons  2
Orks       -4
Chaos    -3
CSM        0
     
Is this what 40k Needs? Marines being fine with 6th but xenos taking a hit?

If FNP is nerfed in a game where terminators become the new thing and power weapons cant get them what happens to my Webway wyche list?

It seems as though 6th exists to justify as the big shinies of the marines and totally kills half of my options.
I hope these rumors are just that because I find it hard to think that 6th can balance Termyhammer so that my xenos can survive.
